SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 600,702, dated March 15, 1898.

Application led January 6 1897.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY ADLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof. y

My invention relates to gas-stoves, and has special reference to stoves for burning natural or other gaseous fuel.

The object of my invention is to providel a gas-stove which is neat in appearance and can be easily and cheaply constructed.

Another object of my invention is to provide a gas-stove of light material which can be quickly and conveniently put together and taken apart when desired, and a still further object of my invention is to provide such a stove in which proper and complete com bustion can be obtained by the admission of air and gas thereto, so as to attain as great a heating power as possible and overcome the admission of gaseous vapors into the apartment in which it is used as well as the production of a most powerful radiant heat, at the saine time the utilization of as much of the waste heat as possible before it passes away up the flue.

. My invention consists, generally stated, in the novel construction, arrangement, and combination of parts, as -hereinafter more specifically set forth and described, and pary ticularly pointed out in the claims.

To enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to construct and use the same, I will describe the same more fully, referring to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a front or face view of my improved gas-stove. Fig.` 2 is an end view of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical central section thereof on the line 3 3, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a back view of the same. Fig. 5 is a top view of the same with the cover removed. Fig. 6 is a horizontal cross-section on the line 6 6, Fig. 1, looking down in the direction of the arrow. Figs. 7, S, and 9 are enlarged detail sections of different parts of the stove. Fig. l0 is a plan view of the blank for forming the Fig. 11

sheet metal and is. provided with the front y panels a a, ends b b, and back c, which are formed from one piece of sheet metal and bent to shape, as shown. The back c has a flange c on the bottom thereof, bent inwardly to assist in supporting the stove A, and airentrance openings c2 are formed in the back c for the entrance of air into the air-chamber d, formed in the stove A. Airentrance openings ?J are also formed in the ends b l? on each side of the 'stove A for the entrance of air into the heating-chamber o7, therein.

Secured within the chamber CZ of the stove A is the corrugated metal back wall e, which has a number of perforations e therein and is secured to the ends b l) by bolts e2, passing through ianges e3 bent thereon. The corrugated metal back e does not extend down to the bottom of the stove A, thus leaving a space e4 for the proper circulation of air `in the heating-chamber d. The corrugated back wall e has the upwardly-inclined hood f, bent inwardly toward the front of the stove'A at its top over the combustion-chamber r for inducing the products of combustion to follow the circuitous route before reaching the offtake-iiue.

Secured to the corrugated back c and extending over the combustion-chamber g above the hood f is the top h, which is also secured to the ends b b by bolts h', extending through the flanges 71.2 thereof. A pipet'leads off from the top h above the hood f into and through the collar l1l', secured by bolts i2 on the back c, with which pipe i and collar t" any suitable connection can be made to a fluefor carrying off the waste gases. A downwardly-projecting flange h3 is formed on the front of the top h, which fits under and against the down-` wardly-projecting flange j' on the coverj, so

IOO

and back c of the stove A, and is secured thereto by the lipjs, formed thereon, engaging With alip c3, formed on the back c. The cover j is provided With flanges j* on each side,

which fit over the ends b b and hold t-he coverj in place in conjunction with the lip .7'3 and the bolts Which pass through the downwardly-projecting angej' and panels a d of the stove A. A series of openin gs jG are formed in the cover j above the top h for the passage of heated air into'the apartment from the stove A. Asbestos fiber 7.a or other suitable non conducting material is placed on the front of the corrugated back e and around' the ends of the rods Z to hold them in place in the ends b Z9 of the stove A.

The burner m is secured in the ends Z) b of the stove A, below the branches Z, by means of boltsand nuts fm', said burner being preferably of the construction shown and described in the Letters' Patent granted to me on November 1, 1892, No. 485,594, and on May 19, 1896, No. 560,458. A' gas -supply pipe fn, enters one of the air-openings b in one of the ends ZJ Z9 and connects With the burner fm, for supplying gaseous fuel to the stove A. A brace or base o is secured to the panels a a on the stove A by means of bolts o passing through holes o2 in the same and through a support 03, Which is secured to a flange o4 on the brace o, which acts to support the stove A. The brace o is provided with open en'ds o5 and air-openings oG in the body of the same for 'the entrance of air into the burner mand chamber CZ. The top o7 of the brace o is bent to form the seat o8 for the reception of the front or fender p, which is held therein by means of the iiange o9 and rests against the burner m. The front p is provided with the bearing 19', Within which any sui-table handle or ring p2 is secured for handling the front or fender p.

The blank q for making the front panels ct a, ends b Z9, and back c of my improved stove A is shown in Fig. 10 and is stamped out of sheet metal in any suitable manner lto form the body portion q for the back c and the `Wings q2 for forming the ends Z2 b and 'the front panels a a of the stove. The blank is provided With air-openings ZJ and c2 therein and the flanges c c3 for supporting the stove and formingthe lip for the cover j. An open- .ing r is formed in the blank q for the pipe 1l, and holes r are formed around the same for the bolts Z2, holding the col-lar 1l to the back c. Holes sare formed in `each panel a a for the bolts t7'5 to hold the cover j thereto, and holes Z are also formed in the panels a ct for the bolts o', Which secure the brace o and support o2 thereto. Holes u are also formed in the upper part of the blank q for the bolts h, which hold the top 7?, thereto, and holes n are formed in the blank q for the bolts e2 for supporting the corrugated back e Within the stove A. Holes U/ in the blank q are adapted to seat the bolts m', which secure the burner 'm Within the stove A, and the holes U2 are adapted to support the rods Z, With which the branches Z engage.

The blankw, stamped from metal, for forming the coverj is shown in Fig. 11 and has the body portion w and the flange portion w2 for forming the depending flange l7'5 and also the lip js and the flanges t7'4 thereon. Holesj6 are formed in the iiange portion cu2 for the reception of the bolts f.

In Fig. 12 is shown the blank c, which is stamped from sheet metal, for forming the brace or base o of the stove, and it is provided With the body portion z5 and the Wing portion ,e2 thereon for forming the seat o 7L for the fender. Holes o2 are formed in the body portion z/ for the reception of the bolts 0 to secure the brace to the panels a a of the stove A.

The manner of constructing and operating my improved gas-stove is as follows: The blank q after it is stamped, as shown in Fig. 10, is bent to shape to form the front panels a a, ends b b, and back c, after which the corrugated back e, with its hood f, top Zt, and

'pipe fi connected thereto, is then set in place and secured by the bolts c2 and h' to the ends Z9 b. After the liber Zr has been placed upon 'the corrugated back e and ends b b the rods Z are set in place with the branchesZ thereon and the rods secured in the ends Z2 b by the nuts Z3 engaging therewith. The burner m can then be set in place by -means of the bolts m', engaging With the ends b Z9, and the gassupply pipe n, connected thereto, through the air-openings b' in one of the ends Z) b.

'The brace o, which has previously been stamped and bent to shape from the blank z, is then secured to the panels a 0L by means of the bolts o/ and support o2 and the front p, placed within its seat o7 and against the burner m. The cover j, Which has been bent from vthe blank w, can then be slid to place by means of the lip jg, engaging with the lip c3 on the back c and secured to the front panels d a by the bolts f5, engaging With the 'downwardly-projecting flange y thereon and the asbestos fiber or other non-conducting material placed Within the space jz between the flange-openings 7'6 in the cover j into the apartment, ,and the air to the burner m will be drawn into the stove A through the openings b Vin the ends b b and theair-openings o5 and open ends o4 in the brace o, so giving a sufficient amount of air to form perfect combustion in the burner m `and a sufficient quantity of iair to be heated in the heatingchamber CZ before passing into the apartment. It will ythus be seen that my improved IOO IIO

stove is neat and simple in its construction and strong and durable in its parts. By such a construction it can be easily and cheaply manufactured and Will lessen the number of pieces and parts composing the same, so reducin g the handling and working of the same. By its construction greater heat is obtained than in the ordinary gas-stove and no heat whatever is lost by its use. The whole of the products of combustion passes away by the flue, while pure air admitted at the bottom of the stove is warmed in the chamber and passes into the apartment through the perforated top panels Without ever coming in contact in any way with the burned gases.
